150 bookings for GWM TANK 500 HEV

When GWM Malaysia previewed the TANK 300 at the Malaysia Auto Show last year, it reported that 150 orders were received during the event.

This year, at the same event, it has launched the TANK 300’s bigger brother – the TANK 500 HEV – and says that 150 orders have already been received for the premium SUV priced at RM328,800.

As such, the company is extending its Premium Gift Set offer to customers who place their bookings before May 18, 2025.

As the number indicates, the TANK 500 would be positioned above the TANK 300. The 7-seater measures 5078 mm in length (318 mm longer than the TANK 300), 1934 mm in width, and 1905 mm in height, with a 2850 mm wheelbase.

The version just launched at the motorshow has a hybrid electric powertrain with a 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The output of 346 ps/648 Nm goes through a 9-speed hybrid automatic transmission to all 4 wheels with an M-Lock to deliver power more effectively to the ground.

Engineered for the toughest off-road missions, the TANK 500 has an Intelligent All-terrain system with 11 driving modes. Thanks to its TANK Turn feature, its turning circle can be reduced while Off-road Cruise Control reduces driver fatigue when travelling off the highway.

As the flagship of the TANK range, the TANK 500 comes with premium features and equipment. These include NAPPA leather upholstery, an Infinity sound system, electric side steps, and front seats with both massage and ventilation functions.
